Okay, were almost to the part where I just start recommending Pokemon card products, but before I do, Im going to preemptively answer the third most common question I get asked when parents ask me about Pokemon cards, which is How do I know if my kid gets an expensive Pokemon card? After all, weve all heard the story about $100,000 Charizard cards, and most parents would probably have an ulcer about letting their kid put their dirty fingers on something thats worth even a fraction of that
That means that even in a 14 land deck you are pretty likely to see six mana in a lot of the games you don't obliterate your opponent in 4-6 turns
